Richard seldom fails to offer the most relevant and fascinating perspectives on the world economic conditions I've encountered on YT, but what I find most striking is how concisely effective his presentation style is. He presents his ideas without reading directly from text and yet, his sentences always flow without any hesitation or second thought. I don't think I have ever witnessed him waste a single "umm" or "uh" or even grasp for an evasive word. I lack this skill. To recover from a conversation with me you will need a snack and a short nap

Buzzare realisations and contradictions from NATO flirting to green lighting Israel's genocidal aims of Palestinians. the hypocrisy of the EU and our FineGael (EPP) and FiannaFáil (ALDE) 100 Year old duopoly that nepotistically compete through the Revolving door for pushy private sector corporate jobs and EU commission roles.

Thank you very much sir, it was very interesting indeed. I have lived for the last 46 years in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 and what I found most ridiculous back then, was the sickening Russophobia, now I’m really fearful about it. I suppose from years of indoctrination from the US via Hollywood, for example, at the last remembering of the liberation of Auschwitz, the tv forgot to mention it was the Red Army from the Soviets who liberated it and other concentration camps as well. European leaders just parrot everything the US and specially Israel says, ….. “ We have to help Ukraine to defend democracy “ (not seeing there is no democracy at all) or “Israel has the right to defend itself” when it is the oppressed the ones who have that right, not the oppressor. I have remind these people about their own “resistance” during the Nazi occupation, many of which went around killing not only high German officers but also citizens they suspected of collaboration, some times proved false afterwards. These fighters are considered heroes, even after they went in hiding when the Germans carried on represalies on innocent citizens.
